#OTD 1574 b. Anna (or Anne as she was known in Scotland) of Denmark. Her father, Frederick II died when Anne was 14. Her mother, Sophia of Mecklenburg-Güstrow ensured that Anne’s previously arranged marriage to James VI of Scotland should proceed. After James acceded to the English throne in 1603, Anne became a great patron of the arts & architecture – Inigo Jones and Marcus Gheerhaerts were proteges of hers. Her court masques were famous. http://bit.ly/2fx4hID #queens #histodons #stuarts
